A Little snapshot about us
“It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education, clean water, and a safe environment. It is the will that is missing.”
Ceylon smile housing initiative
Dehiattakandiya, Ampara district
The Ceylon Smile Housing Initiative by Nearth is a transformative project aimed at constructing 10 safe, durable, and cost-effective homes for vulnerable families in Dehiattakandiya, within Sri Lanka’s Ampara District. Ampara is one of the country’s most socioeconomically disadvantaged regions, with over 70% of its population considered multidimensionally vulnerable. Through community collaboration and targeted donor funding, this initiative will provide more than just housing—it will restore dignity, stability, and opportunity to families long deprived of basic human needs.
Join us in the journey to empower communities, protect nature, and create a healthier, more just world for future generations.
Real challenges. Real people. Real solutions.
